PROJECT UPDATE

Dareen Hills Park

A tidal corridor and a new linear island, known as the Eco Corniche, have been established along the open waters of the Arabian Sea along the edge of Dareen Hills Park in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. This newly developed intertidal zone serves multiple purposes, including providing a safe area for swimming, recreational activities like kayaking and fishing, and opportunities for coastal exploration. It also functions as a protective barrier against the potential hazards posed by the steep coastal drop-off resulting from industrial dredging.

The materials generated during the dredging process have been repurposed to create mounds in the neighborhood park which contain cisterns that store treated human wastewater for irrigating the park. This innovative approach to wastewater management not only mitigates potential health and environmental risks in this massive industrial city, the second largest in the world, but it also offers a valuable green open space for the numerous residents and families who call Jubail home. The result is a park for residents who would otherwise have limited access to outdoor space to enjoy recreational activities and gatherings while offering respite from the harsh desert climate.

OPPORTUNITIES

SENIOR DESIGNER/LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

We are seeking a full-time, senior-level landscape architect with significant experience evolving designs from the conceptual level through the DD, CD, and CO phases of any given project. Applicants should have extensive experience in preparing drawing sets and specifications and an understanding of materials, contemporary fabrication, and construction techniques. We are also looking for someone with advanced leadership skills and the ability and energy to mentor entry-level designers in all aspects of project development.

Vibrant Placemaking

We are engaged in design research that uses atypical and emergent materials and fabrication techniques to viscerally expand landscape experiences. Accordingly, many of our projects emerge from a dialogue between various materials and calibrated ordering systems such as modularity, seriality and repetition.

Change and Time as Protagonists

We are interested in the artful registration of environmental ephemera and calibrating between fixity and mutability according to predictable and less predictable factors and those things against which change is registered and experienced.

High Performance Urbanism

We are interested in the relationship between ecological performativity and human performance as a mechanism for resilient urbanisms. We believe that careful scrutiny at a human scale of potential interrelationships of these conditions leads to innovative and site-specific design responses.

Project Categories

We offer extensive design, planning, and build Landscape Architecture services in the following areas:
